FC/01 To confirm the Minutes of the meeting of Finance Committee of the Institute held
on 28-09-2015 at 10.15 a.m. in the NIT Transit House, Safdaerjung Enclave, New
Delhi.
Resolution
No.01/FC
The minutes of the meeting were circulated among the members. Some comments were
received from Director (NITs), MHRD in respect of some items and are reproduced
below: -
2
01/FC It was pointed out that minutes should be elaborate containing briefly the
agenda, resolution and justification of resolution. It was also asked by FC
that FC should be numbered and should be mentioned in minutes
henceforth. 02/FC NIT Srinagar was asked to conduct frequent meeting so that ratifications
are minimized. 03/FC Director can appoint staff non academic staff in any cadre with maximum
pay scale upto Rs. 10,500/-. Therefore, appointment made is beyond the
power of the Director. However, given the importance of post, FC
recommends the Board to approve the appointment ex-post-facto w.e.f
date on which Director approved the appointments made under agenda
item FC/03/(a) of Mrs Kusum, as Sanitary worker and Mr Firoz Ahmad
Malla as full time counselor in medical unit. It was told by Administration
of NIT Srinagar that process stipulated in Statute has been followed in
both cases. 06/FC Circular of Ministry of Labour may be adhered to. Also NIT, Srinagar
should determine which rates are applicable-collector rate or rates
specified by Ministry of Labour. 08/FC FC deliberated the issue. It was noted that remunerations recommended
for faculty with M.Tech/M. Phil. qualification was Rs 37,000/-.
Subsequently, the contract faculty represented before authorities of
Institute. Subsequently, a meeting of Deans and HoDs was held on
15/9/2015, which recommended total pay of Rs 45,000 per month to retain
and attract faculty. FC also noted that Srinagar is a difficult station and
hence, better remuneration will be helpful to gaining and retaining faculty.
Hence, FC concurs with recommendations of NIT Srinagar for enhancing
remuneration from Rs 33,000/- to Rs. 45,000/- for the faculty M.Tech/M.
Phil. qualification and employed as contract basis and recommends the
case to BOG.
The comments were clarified through a clarification as under: -
FC/03 i) Regarding Engagement of Counselor: -
In compliance with the instructions of MHRD to engage a full time
counselor in the Institute for counseling of students in the distress
so that any misfortune incident like that of IIT Gowhati is avoided.
A proposal was put up to the Chairman, BOG for approval to
engage a full time Counselor on contract basis through a process of
open selection on the following terms and conditions : -
● Qualification Minimum Post Graduate in Psychology
from recognized university / institution ● Experience Minimum 1 year relevant experience
● Remuneration Rs.28,000/- p.m. (Consolidated)
Subsequently, advertisement was made for same on contractual
basis on 59 days basis with usual break of two working days on
monthly remuneration of Rs. 28,000 as consolidated. After
conducting interviews, Mr. Feroz Ahmad Malla was engaged.
3
ii)
Regarding engagement of Female Sanitary Worker:
Ladies toilets in the different blocks of the Institute were not in
good sanitary conditions due to the fact that these were not being
attended regularly. The reason for this was that the male sanitary
workers attending these blocks for such job feel some hesitation to
enter the ladies toilets. In view of this, a proposal was put up to the
Chairman, BOG for approval for engagement of a female sanitary
worker on contractual basis of 59 days on the approved wages as
per J&K labour wages schedule as a skill workers.
Subsequently advertisement was made and interviews were held
by the Selection Committee, Mrs. Kulsum was engaged as female
sanitary worker in the institute on 59 days contractual basis with
usual break of two working days on minimum wages schedule
approximately working out to Rs. 6750/- p.m. @ 225/- per day.
Thus from the above, it is clear that the Director did not approve
these appointments on his own. The items were placed in the FC for
ratification of the action taken by the Chairman, BOG and not for
post facto approval.
FC/01
and
FC/06
The comments have been incorporated.
FC/08 The suggestions in the draft have been incorporated. Regarding the
consolidated remuneration of persons with Ph.D., the amount worked
out is submitted in the ATR of FC under item no. FC/02.
Subsequently no further comments were received.
The minutes of the said meeting are therefore confirmed with incorporation of the
following modifications: -
01/FC It was pointed out that minutes should be elaborate containing briefly the
agenda, resolution and justification of the resolution for each agenda item.
The FC further desired that the meetings of the FC should be numbered
and these numbers should be mentioned in the minutes henceforth.
03/FC The FC further desired that the vacant posts in the Institute should be
filled up expeditiously by regular employees and the Institute should
desist from going in for contractual appointments. It was also desired that

recommendations of NIT, Srinagar for enhancing the remuneration from
Rs 33,000/- to Rs. 45,000/- for the faculty with M.Tech/M. Phil.
qualification and employed on as contract and recommends the case to

for regularization in the Institute.

No. 10/FC After thorough discussion on the issue, the FC noted that:
• The Hon’ble High Court of J&K has directed the institute to
consider regularization of Mess workers vide its orders of 2000
and 2015 against the vacancies subject to their eligibility as per
prescribed norms.
• The High Court order is based on BOG order no. 34/2000
wherein it has been mentioned that after adjusting the regular
temporary staff in the Institute, these mess workers shall be
considered.
• Ruling of the constitutional Bench of Supreme Court of India in
the case Uma Devi and others has made it clear that the
temporary and casual workers cannot be regularized without
regular selection process against vacancies.
